Answer 1

I realize that most belief in global warming is probably more to do about belonging to a group than to really understanding the issue.

From a recent newspaper: "Bill Gray, who has studied tropical meteorology for more than 40 years, spoke at the Larimer County Republican Club Breakfast about global warming and whether humans are to blame.

"Gray, who is a professor at Colorado State University, said human-induced global warming is a fear perpetuated by the media and scientists who are trying to get federal grants.
“I think we’re coming out of the little ice age, and warming is due to changes to ocean circulation patterns due to salinity variations,” Gray said. “I’m sure that’s it.”"

Scientists can't seem to make up their mind. There were more "than four swings of scientific opinion, with considerable overlapping, from global cooling (1895-1932) to global warming (1929-1969) to global cooling (1954-1976) and now back to global warming (1981 to the present)."



From the the NY Times:

"America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-Year Rise."

"On Jan. 2, 1939 Time magazine announced that "Gaffers who claim that winters were harder when they were boys are quite right ... weather men have no doubt that the world at least for the time being is growing warmer."

"in 1975, when it startled its readers on May 21 with "Scientists Ponder Why World's Climate is Changing; A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable."

Time scooped The New York Times by nearly a year when, reversing itself, it warned readers on June 24, 1974 that, "Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age." Today, of course, Time has changed its mind again and joined the global-warming hysteria.

On April 3 this year, it announced that "By Any Measure, Earth is At ... The Tipping Point. The climate is crashing, and global warming is to blame."

Lowell Ponte, whose 1976 book "The Cooling" (a predecessor of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," though from the opposite point of view) asserted that "The cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations." If countermeasures weren't taken, he warned, it would lead to "world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000."

I know it is cool in certain circles to worry about human induced global warming, It is just not scientific.

Answer 2

I think the most practical thing I will swear by is preserving the greens. I have been increasing the greenery's and plants at my home for the past 5 years, and I think everyone should consider this alternative as to save the world form global warming...cause every tree planted will be able to serve as a savior to the living creatures in this planet!

Answer 3

Try to live with awareness to help create the shift to a life-sustaining human civilisation (earth doesn't need saving from global warming, it will find a new level of balance and life - but probably won't support humans - see James Lovelock Gaia & revenge of Gaia)

this shift is sometimes called the Great Turning, comprises 3 strands
1) Campaigns and acts of protest to counter the destruction
2) Building positive alternatives and sustainable ways of living
3) A deeper shift in values, thinking and culture to support this

Answer 4

Read the author BEN BOVA on his various planet series of near future Earth. A planet with capacity for Lunar Colonies, Asteroid Colonies, Jupiter/Saturn satellite colonies...but the Earth had suffered a chaotic drop in all weather charts...major barriers are set in place to protect Miami from the ocean..kind of like in the Netherlands....New Orleans was destroyed by a flood...and everything he wrote about that came eerily true.

Corporate intrigue, why the whole place was going to hell in a hand basket was due to Global warming.
Interesting inclusion of nanotechnology as building blocks for tomorrow's worlds.
Set up nanobots to selectively chew the regolith on the moon to construct moon bases by selective design of the nanobot. All in the relative blink of the eye.

A weird world of the Global Warming future.

Answer 5

as with anything in this world, it starts with education. true that media and a couple people conserving and planting would help a little, but there would be no visible effect, because we destroy faster than we can create. the answer lies in a next generation of educating children in school about global warming. people old enough to read and write are far beyond being able to help, unless they are teachers and mentors. start with the kids.

Answer 6

The thing I do and will continue to do is to plant and water trees. This helps the environment in many ways. The trees provide shelter for birds and squirrels, produce oxygen, and provide shade for homes. Their leaves are mulch for the soil, feeding it.At the rate people are cutting down rain forest's for wood, trees need replacing!

Answer 7

I plan to min the use of paper to save the trees which will help ultimately in reduction of global warming

Answer 8

Put in orbit, above the warmes't latitudes, a belt of particles to screen and reflect a percentage of the sun rays.
